Target Audience- The grade level will be third grade. There are not any special needs students, but if there were we would be able to make adjustments that would work with their skill level. The technology available computers, but I would like to be able to have an interactive white board.

Big Ideas- I think working with the interactive white board would be fun for the students. It gives them an opportunity to work on the board and show their knowledge to the class. It is also something that is hands on and I think many students would enjoy that. It might be helpful to some of the lower level students to see how their classmates work and gather their information. This might be an easier way for them to understand. We could also pair up some of the special needs students with some of the higher level students and have them work together to gather information. My students right now do not have an interactive white board, but they tend to do a lot of group work and I think working with a white board would fit into their routine.

Goals- My goal is to have the students learn and understand states and where they are located. I think working with the interactive white board will be great for this because it gives the students a large view of USA and they can work hands on while discovering where things are located.
